Pinhead Coffins Really interesting EP based on melodic death with many influences ranging from post-rock/metal to mix of most extreme metal tunes and unexpected screaming lead vocals. Separate attention deserves a noticeable lineup. Can't wait for a full-length later this year or in the beginning of the next Favorite track: The Corpses of Summer.

pinkytheent What a cool and very promising EP! Gives me strong Opeth vibes from that momentum-building, melodic, thoughtful end of the death metal spectrum. Hope to hear more from Aduanten and cheers from an Arlington, VA neighbor! Favorite track: The Drowning Tide.

Standing in the murky river bank As the spirit slowly sinks into the sand How can I conceive of this structure, In Its colossal and crippling form? A return to that old philosophy Of cowardice and quiet retreat I’ll discreetly make my own way Submit to the strength and the will of the tide Closer and closer I inch towards the edge Wading into the turbulent rage of the flow complete and undeniable urge To heed the call, to feel the fall Currents are pulling me down too far Crash through with shivered, strained air Rocks at the crest for a chance yet given Push forward, for a glimpse of the light Further and further I look across the divide Transfixed by victorious spoils of the land A deafening and unyielding urge To heed the call, to feel the fall I sought my revival but starvation took hold Now I long for the sinking and the treacherous cold
2.
Rising, unearthly - a yearning through the clouds Deafening, this ghostly cry is coursing through the mire These -- disembodied voices are howling my name Footpath diminishing, scalding birds ahead Earthen limbs and scarlet vines, extending from the rot Writhing hands, gradually, ferociously, forcing me under -- can I seek any longer? Boiling seethe below a sun-shattered surface Persevering the scourge, sinking into defeat Bleeding from the arch, weathering the day’s incision A smoldering and radiant glow Reflections of my eventual need For the treasonous sting of the cold hereafter Surrendering my tongue to the firmaments Drawing failure across a parchment of blank sky The sullen cadence sinks into the horizon A hollow ring of the day’s last wake
3.
Well what do we have here? dredged up from the dirt - a feast for the flies, dragged across the peace-wall partition Upending the trajectory of all those lonely years The scornful disturbance of a cold and quiet mind Coursing through the waves, drowning out the day’s last shelter The fetid corpses of summer -- the festering root of our failure The wrath of excavation -- a bygone stench reborn Encircles the wreckage with the empty notion of growth Preemptive rift of a grave indifference Heeding collapse of our towering monuments Drawing the dead toward the crest of the evening Our shores littered with ruinous purge Stabbing through the light, strangling the day's last whimper The fetid corpses of summer -- the festering root of our failure Withering under the sun, a mass grave of waste and negligence The catastrophic tempest of summer was our final point of departure
4.
A scarlet wave detonation quiet rumble through the piercing light Cascading pillars of concrete and earth Crushing the image of your early designs They trample on your face as you sleep -- Bind your hands and torch your creations, Cemented filled mouths can no longer speak From a burial of silence and stone A bullet through the ascending wings Grazing the sands of apocryphal lands Rooting out the seeds of rebellion Rivulets of pain upon the caliphate’s -- Reign of silence traversing our borders Cruel stillness of unmerciful order A visceral pact, bound by coercive years of strangled light Charred skin breaking through the rubble Explosive shards through tender flesh So goes the furtive search through the stones The strained voice of a forgotten soil Recalling the land I tried to create - Forging walls from the grains of history Hands clasped above a jasmine wreath Dreaming the echoes of our palace in ruin Kneeling down into quiet prayer -- A silent wake astride the graves of our fathers No one remembered that we were here, Misting memories in a coffin of glass
